Days in iraq

The first day in Iraq was very weird. Never thought i would wake up in the morning and get mortar and rocket attacks at 0730 in the morning. What the majority of Marines and i thought about while we were there was, "Why are we here? For our jobs?", there were very indecisive feelings. The reason for this was because we were not there for a great cause even though it is our duty to be there and serve. We may not always agree on what goes on but we still have to do it in order to get the job the done.
